Consultation on establishing paternity

Earlier, we talked about the receipt of one-time cash assistance by the families of fallen servicemen. When exercising the right, there is often a problem with providing evidence of establishing the fact of paternity of the deceased defender.

The following documents can be submitted as evidence for an application to establish the fact of paternity:

1. written evidence that confirms the existence of this legal fact (questionnaires, certificates of family composition, autobiographies, letters of a business and personal nature, personal files, copies of medical documents, extracts from household books, a child's baptismal certificate, if the child's biological parents are recorded in it and other documents that contain information about family relationships of persons);
2. family photos, video materials;
3. testimony of witnesses who reliably know about the deceased's relationship with the applicant and about the deceased's direct recognition of paternity during his lifetime;
4. evidence that it is impossible to make changes to the legal record of the child's birth in another way (refusal of the Department of the National Register of Citizens of Ukraine);
5. an extract from the State Register of acts of civil status of citizens on the birth of a child with a note that the record about the father of the child was made in accordance with Part 1 of Art. 135 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
